Hello Stuart. How many amalgams did you have? When did you have them replaced? Imo the best way to combat candida is to eat a very low carb diet, and to consume raw garlic, licorice root, cinnamon, clove, ginger. These are potent antifungals, as are peppermint and chamomile. I like drinking peppermint and chamomile teas. I tried using olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract, and I think they made my symptoms much worse. I may add back the olive leaf extract soon, when I think I can handle it again.
